Home interior shoot.

Hi Peeps, my friend is asking me for a favour to do for him a home interior photo shoot so that he can upload to his website. I have never done any home interior shoot before but willing to give it a try and my friend are aware of it. Need some advise on the gears I need to prepare and things I need to look out for. These are the gears I had.
Nikon D7000
Nikon D600
Sigma 10-20mm DX
Tamron 24-70mm FX
Sigma 17-50mm DX
SB910 and SB900
2 light stand
2 white umbrella
2 black umbrella
Pls advise me on the gear that suit the most or what other gears I can look at too.
Thanks.

Re: Home interior shoot.

There's a lot more to interior photography then we can tell you here.

If its just a normal house, a camera body with a wide angle lens should suffice. Tripod is a must because you might be shooting in low light conditions with slower shutter speeds. The tripod will also let you level up the set up easier.

Yes. Please correct me if there's something wrong with that approach. I'm not familiar with Nikon, only extrapolating what I have read about Nikon's possibility to use FF sensors in DX mode when DX lenses are attached.

Re: Home interior shoot.

bring feets for your flash. at times u need some light to darken the dark spots alittle. u can hide the flash under/behind sofa/table/chairs and etc.

if ur only 1 person. i suggest u keep it light and simple. to lighten overall area use flash. to brighten subject like sofa and etc, use a small led with lightstand and swirel head. try bringing 2-4 Zflash. I use it for my shoots once inawhile when needed. but most of the time i would rather use 2dedo lights to spot and maybe 2red heads.

Re: Home interior shoot.

From the questions you asked, you don't seem to have much experience with shooting interiors. I'd suggest you keep equipment down to minimal. Forget about additional flashes/strobes. Learn to use the available lightings.
